My name is Rene Iatba. I am a philosopher who uses art as a transcendental language to convey my theories. I have come to the conclusion that PHILOSOPHY and ART EDUCATION are the most important of all forms of education and therefore should be given the importance currently granted to academic studies. The development of our thinking and artistic abilities should parallel every aspect of our education from cradle to grave. My philosophical theory attests that Nature communicates with us in the form of inspiration and it is incumbent upon every one of us to learn how to translate Nature’s messages into a transcendental language. Art is that transcendental language, and drawing is its written form. Philosophy provides us with understanding, and art provides the basic means to convey our understanding. Art allows us to communicate with the illiterate, those who don’t understand our language and future generations.

EVERYONE IS BORN AN ARTIST
We are born with a natural ability to draw what we see but must acquire the knowledge to write. Letters are the drawings of sounds, just like musical notes. Drawing is the foundation upon which all academic studies are built. Without drawing there would be no writing, hence no academic studies. Art (drawing) is the equalizing knowledge (language) that allows everyone, without exception, to communicate, exchange ideas, educate ourselves and our children. Knowledge of philosophy combined with an art education increases our ability to support ourselves while pursuing other forms of education.
When I arrived in the US I was able to communicate, learn English, support and educate myself by drawing and creating works of art. This experience led me to the following conclusions:
Philosophy and drawing are the most important of all the forms of education. Philosophy organizes our thinking.
Drawing hones our ability to observe a necessary skill that allows us to learn, communicate, create, improve our economic situation and pursue other forms of education.
Art education elevates the self-esteem of individuals who may not perform well in athletics or academic studies. Art strengthens the parent/child bond by revealing their children’s interests and their visions.

RENE AT AGE 4
Daily exercises that my father assigned to me in order to improve my penmanship. I am the poster child that proves that if you can learn how to write and improve your penmanship through practice, you can learn how to draw what you see thought practice.

RETURN TO SQUARE ONE
The Mental Flaw Floss forces the mind to go back to square one, clean the slate, and start anew; it is a simple idea that clearly demonstrates that anyone is capable of creating a work of art.
